Chapter 175 : Bai Pu's Flash of Inspiration
Chapter 175 : Bai Pu's Flash of Inspiration
"Congratulations to Orange God for winning the bronze award in this writing contest."
"If I had even one-tenth of Orange God's subscriptions, I'd wake up laughing in my sleep."
"Orange God, teach me how to write!"
Looking at a bunch of people in the author group teasing her with various words, Bai Pu closed the chat window with a complex expression.
"Orange-Flavored Lily," this was the pen name Bai Pu used on Carrot Bun Light Novels. Most readers and authors would call her Orange, and the so-called Orange God was naturally another way to address her.
Of course, the emotions contained in such elevating titles were mostly friendly teasing, which was quite common in internet culture chatting.
If it were in the past, Bai Pu would definitely be modest for a while, teasing back with phrases like "Sugar God is joking" or "Isn't Sand God's subscriptions a hundred times stronger than mine?" But ever since experiencing that broadcasting accident, her mood had been shrouded in an indescribable gloom these past few days.
Bei Yaofeng already had a lover, and moreover... it was her sister, Bei Yaoyue.
This news was nothing short of a bolt from the blue, making Bai Pu feel like her sky was about to collapse.
Fifteen-year-old girls rarely understood true love. Although the novels Bai Pu wrote could be considered romance from a certain angle, she was actually still a chick who had never dated anyone. In all her years, the only person she had ever liked was Bei Yaofeng.
Moreover, Bai Pu didn't even understand whether her feelings for Bei Yaofeng were the kind of liking that wanted to become a bride, or perhaps just a very pure but somewhat excessive fondness.
Bai Pu comforted herself this way—maybe she didn't truly like Bei Yaofeng at all?
Opening and closing Bei Yaofeng's chat window repeatedly, Bai Pu never had the courage to say even a single word to Bei Yaofeng. She looked at Bei Yaofeng's Aoba Mei avatar, fell silent for a moment, then clicked on Bei Yaoyue's profile, staring blankly at that Aoba Yuzu avatar.
Although Bai Pu's own avatar was also Aoba Mei, it was obvious that Bei Yaofeng and Bei Yaoyue's avatars were the real couple avatars cropped from one image. And this image's art style... was exactly Moon Has Dark Clouds Flowers Have Wind's style. In other words, this image they used as couple avatars was specially drawn by Bei Yaoyue for the two of them.
Feeling terrible inside, a flash of painful emotion crossed Bai Pu's eyes. She dejectedly slumped over her computer, her mind completely in chaos.
There was still one hour until midnight, but Bai Pu hadn't written a single word of today's chapter. If she couldn't rush out two thousand words before midnight, her perfect attendance would be broken.
Without any ideas, Bai Pu had no clue how to continue writing. Her chaotic mind almost made her lose normal thinking ability, let alone conceive a logically coherent plot.
Time passed minute by minute, gradually reaching 11:10, but Bai Pu still had no leads. This made her anxious, but the more anxious she became, the more confused her mind got, making it even harder to calm down and conceive a plot. She was so anxious she was scratching her ears and cheeks, restless.
The only fortunate thing in this misfortune was that final exams had just passed. If this had happened during final exam period, it would undoubtedly have greatly affected her exam results.
Picking up her phone from the side, Bai Pu rested it on her arm, unlocked the screen, and found a photo in her album.
It was a photo she had secretly taken of Bei Yaofeng. In the photo, Bei Yaofeng was looking down at her phone with a smile, seemingly chatting with someone. Thinking about it now, she must have been chatting with Bei Yaoyue, right?
Closing her somewhat tired eyes, Bai Pu couldn't help thinking that they say those near the water get the moon first—wasn't Bei Yaoyue just benefiting from being Bei Yaofeng's sister?
If she were Bei Yaofeng's sister, maybe the whole story would be different?
Thinking of this, Bai Pu had a flash of inspiration. Like a corpse coming back to life, she suddenly sat up with a "thud," grabbed her keyboard and started typing.
Right! Although in reality she couldn't be Bei Yaofeng's sister, but... she could in a novel!
As the author of "Because of My Recklessness, I Became My Sister's Plaything," in this book, she, Bai Pu, was God! She was the omnipotent deity!
Thinking of doing it, Bai Pu became excited. As the keyboard clacked, a strange pleasure also rose from her heart.
Nan Qinyue was not the mayor of Crescent City's only daughter. She had a biological sister, Nan Qinhe, one year younger than Nan Qinyue, about the same age as Nan Qinfeng.
Nan Qinhe had been studying abroad since middle school, so she was away from home for years. Recently, due to academic issues, she temporarily returned to the country. The first thing she did was visit her long-unseen father and sister, but unexpectedly fell in love at first sight with Nan Qinfeng, who was Nan Qinyue's forbidden possession.
Completely disagreeing with and unable to accept Nan Qinyue's attitude of treating Nan Qinfeng like a toy, Nan Qinhe's relationship with Nan Qinyue completely broke down. She embarked on a path of rescuing Nan Qinfeng from dire straits and trying to win her heart.
As long as the plot flowed smoothly, typing didn't take too much time. In just half an hour, two thousand words were completed. After a simple read-through to confirm there were no grammatical errors or typos, Bai Pu chose to submit.
The words were finished, and her rapidly typing hands stopped. Bai Pu leaned back in her chair, but her mood remained difficult to calm. In her eyes gazing at the ceiling, her pupils flickered intensely.

Morning.
Startling awake from her deathbed, He Pingge bounced up from the bed like she had a spring installed. The headache from the ensuing hangover made her frown and lower her head, covering her forehead.
As consciousness gradually awakened from sleep, last night's memories became increasingly clear. She and Su Weiai... perhaps because they sympathized with each other, ultimately did some things friends shouldn't do.
Of course, because they were only friends, they hadn't gone too far—only to the extent of kissing and sleeping in each other's arms.
Shifting her gaze to Su Weiai, who was still sleeping soundly beside her, He Pingge's eyes flashed with several extremely complex emotions. A sense of guilt, as if she had betrayed Xifeng, arose from her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable and self-reproachful.
At the same time, He Pingge couldn't understand at all why, when she clearly liked Xifeng, she couldn't refuse Su Weiai's advances.
After experiencing last night's events, He Pingge had no idea how she should face Su Weiai from today onwards, with what kind of mindset and feelings.
